Warpfire Throwers or Death Globe Bombardiers?
Running a Queek campaign and I've built myself a nice lil' army. Front line of Plague Monks (Might replace them with Stormvermin later and use Censer Bearers or Death Runners for flanking.), Halberd Stormvermin on my flanks, couple units of Rat Ogres, couple Plagueclaws, some Poison Wind Globadiers to deal with the Lizardmen, might get meself a Hellpit boi later.

Thing is, I'm struggling to choose between the Warpfire Thrower Weapons Team and the Death Globe Bombardiers for anti-infantry purposes. I like the accuracy of the Bombardiers, but the Warpfire Throwers are just absolutely awesome and rip through infantry like there's no tomorrow, except friendly fire is an occupational hazard with them, and missile flanking isn't easy for the Skaven.

What do you lot think? Which is better?

Death globes will obliterate all but the heaviest of infantry, those little guys are obscene

I really like the flamers, takes a lot of practice to use them right though.

I like death globes for facing elite targets and warpfire throwers for trash. The leadership penalty from the warpfire throwers does a lot of work against skinks, Vcoast and so on.

Neither, buy the prophet and warlock dlc - get the new units - use ratling gunners for anti- infantry, and warplock jezzails for your lizardmen problems.
Also, I would recommend replacing censor bearers entirely. Stormvermin are better frontliners, and especially with Queek. Use the deathrunners to bolster by coming in from the flanks, and there ya go. Also, I'd use the warp lightning cannons over the plagueclaw.
Have fun.

Personally my weapons team choices are usually Jezzails > ratling guns> deathglobe> warpfire.

I almost never use warpfire, most of my armies look something like 4 stormvermin/clan rats, 6 jezzails, 4 ratling guns, 2-3 deathglobes, 2-3 flayers.
